Engagement (C&C)

wolfier

I do not shoot engagement often and am relatively new to this kinds of shots - but have done it recently for a good friend of mine. I've already discovered a few mistakes that I made, but more C&C are always welcome

Couple of good shots in there. You're going to get much better follow-up by posting the images themselves in your thread here. Just FYI.

the sunglasses on the dress are KILLING ME! I always double check wrists for hairbands and such.

As for the shots...

#6 is a winner. love the feel in that one! Color and processing is great.

seems like you found a lot of nice spots to shoot. They also seem very natural with their posing. The connection seems stronger in the beginning of the shots and seems to fade off at the end.

That old car was super cool!

You mean from #9 where she had the sunglasses hung on the dress? To them I guess it's a natural place of putting it, but you may be right - the more I pay attention to it the more annoyed I am by the glasses.

I like #6 the most too. I'd say half of the mood that you see there is due to PP, the other half due to they're sidelit by the 11am sun, half hidden by the clouds.

In this session I have not used the flash at all and aimed for all natural lights, but it's sort of difficult to control, and difficult to get the usual shots with brightly exposed faces that people are generally after.

Lens was a mix of a lowly 28-105D + macro diopter pseudo-macro (surprisingly worked very well for the ring shots as long as I put the ring in the centre), 50/1.4D. Some others 85/1.4D and the wide ones a Tammy 17-35.
